apenwarr/sshuttle – GitHub
: ‘Any TCP session you initiate to one of the proxied IP addresses [specified on the command line] will be captured by sshuttle and sent over an ssh session to the remote copy of sshuttle, which will then regenerate the connection on that end, and funnel the data back and forth through ssh. Fun, right? A poor man’s instant VPN, and you don’t even have to have admin access on the server.’

Why djb redo won’t be the Git of build systems
: A counter-argument: “so, redo, from a conceptual point of view, has a really good and simple approach (very djb-y), and I’m sure it’s an excellent tool for new projects, but for existing projects that already use make in a non-recursive fashion, it would a maintenance PITA. And that’s why I conclude that redo in its current conceptual state will never be the Git of build systems. make is still more flexible, and even though it has its flaws, it’s still good enough for most people, and also a de-facto standard.”
